Polk and Kush
An absurd look at sports and life in New Orleans. This weekly podcast featuring comedian Andrew Polk and longtime local columnist Scott Kushner covers New Orleans teams with a bend away from stats and boring analysis. Instead they focus on the practical, entertaining side of the Saints, Pelicans, UNO, Tulane, and more.

We discuss Zion’s step-dad calling into Jordy Colutta’s show to shed some light on where Zion is physically, mentally, and what his family thinks about New Orleans, Willie Green, and the Pelicans as a whole. The Saints get a few first-round picks from the Eagles and have more than a few holes to fill with them. An inflatable mayo jar is stolen and returned, but was it a publicity stunt by Big Corporate Mayo? All this and so much more.

The Pelicans do their best Will Smith impression by slapping the Lakers around, showing just how much resilience this team has gained under Willie Green. The Saints find a suitable back-up in Andy Dalton, but who's he gonna throw it to? The Taysom experiment is officially over in one aspect, as Dennis Allen confirms he'll be playing as a tight end.

Zion dunks on Instagram and sends a message to the Pelicans that he wants to play, but is it the best move for the team with only 10 games to go? The Saints stay the course with Jameis Winston for at least 2 more seasons. Plus, all your favorite segments, local news, the definition of "Goblin Mode" and so much more.

The Pelicans are in a bit of a slump as Willie Green and company try to get back on track. The Saints are taking a look at DeShaun Watson and we question if it's worth the risk to an organization with plenty of controversy in its past. The city of New Orleans asks YOU how much you trust them! Potholes, Elden Ring, and more!Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas and Riverboat Gamblers.

Polk & Kush have survived the first real Mardi Gras in a few years! The Pelicans did not survive a monster Jokic in OT and get blown out by the Grizzlies without Brandon Ingram. Zion returns to New Orleans to frighten some local pet store employees, and LaToya gets an infrastructure-based promotion! This week's sponsor:

JJ Redick calls out Zion on First Take calling him “detached” and his behavior “insane” - Whoa mama!!! and we’re just getting started. Also, LSU is packing it out in Baton Rouge, LaToya Cantrell is ignoring her own mask mandate, and skiers are freezing their wieners off.

CJ McCollum shows up and makes an immediate impact with the Pelicans but there’s still a few kinks to work out with shooting and rotations. The Saints stay the course in the search for an offensive coordinator, and hopefully he doesn’t piss off Kamara or his friends! 1600 people have had to pay to get their cars back after they were stolen and we think the city knows more than they’re letting on, be careful about which color emoji you pick, and watch out if you’re ordering drinks to your seat at SKC! It’s a wild one this week, fellas.

The Pelicans swing for the fences with a huge trade to nab star guard CJ McCollum, and lose a fan favorite along the way (we’ll miss you Josh Hart) but the basketball future is looking bright riding on a 5 game win streak. The Saints make the smart, albeit boring choice of Dennis Allen at head coach. There’s nutria hunting, you can’t use mailboxes, Tool kicks ass, and we’ve got new segment music!

The boys bring on Coach Mark Slessinger of the UNO Privateers to discuss just how much fun making the quick trip out to the Lakefront Arena can be with their rapid fire open-floor offense lead by Derek St. Hilaire. The Pelicans eek out a much needed victory in Detroit sparked by the return of Brandon Ingram. There’s a mysterious city-wide boom, they’re shutting down the massage parlors, and smoking too much ganja can have consequences. All this and much more!

The rumors have been swirling and now they’ve finally been flushed, as Sean Payton leaves the New Orleans Saints after 16 years and a Super Bowl championship. What does the future for the team hold? What kind of taste is left in our mouths? What hashtag could be printed on our next batch of t-shirts? The Pelicans keep shooting for the 10th spot, with good news coming from the Blazers. LaToya gets to the root of the crime problem by speaking out against littering, Entergy can’t keep the lights on, and Edwin Edwards leaves a parting gift.
